<p>The University System of Maryland (which includes Towson) is in pretty bad shape. For starters, they’re lifting the4-year-old in-state tuition freeze to raise revenue. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard much about Towson specifically (my alma mater, btw), but here’s what we were told during our UMd College Park tour.
- professors are retiring and the school can’t back fill
- most 100 & 200 level courses will be taught by TA’s
- class sizes are increasing and course sections are being cut
- undergrads will have little to no opportunity for research experience
- no one should expect to graduate from the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences in 8 semesters. </p>
